Hadith 1535
أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ اللَّخْمِيُّ ، بِعَسْقَلانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : أَعْتَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً مِنَ اللَّيَالِي بِصَلاةِ الْعِشَاءِ ، وَهِيَ الَّتِي تُدْعَى الْعَتَمَةَ ، فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ : نَامَ النِّسَاءُ وَالصِّبْيَانُ ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ لأَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ حِينَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ : " مَا يَنْتَظِرُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ غَيْرُكُمْ " ، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَفْشُوَ الإِسْلامُ فِي النَّاسِ ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ : وَذَكَرُوا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَبْدُرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الصَّلاةِ " ، وَذَلِكَ حِينَ صَاحَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ .
Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: One night, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed performing the Isha prayer. This is the prayer which is called "Atamah." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come (to the mosque) until Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) (said in a loud voice): The women and children have gone to sleep. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came, and after arriving, he said to the people in the mosque: At this time, besides you, there is no one else on the face of the earth waiting for this (prayer). (Lady Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, says) This was before Islam had spread among the people. Ibn Shihab narrates: The narrators have mentioned this statement that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not appropriate for you, you should not try to go ahead of the Messenger of Allah regarding the prayer." He said this when Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) had made this request in a loud voice.
